ROCKY's Luis Salgado to Direct SONG OF SOLOMON at NYC Thespis Festival

The World Premier of Song of Solomon starts rehearsals today. Created by: Andrew Beall & Neil Van Leeuwen Song of Solomon is a tragic, epic romance, based on the Biblical Song of Songs. Set in ancient Israel, we follow the secret romance between King Solomon and a brilliant young vineyard girl, Almah, who inspires the most famous love poetry of all time. The stakes are Solomon's life, the woman he loves, and the fate of Israel."

Salgado, who in recent years has directed successful shows in Peru such as Candela Fuerza y Pasion and Aniversario Sin Cuenta, made his directorial debut in NYC with the family musical Amigo Duende. This will be the first time he directs for the Thespis Festival in NYC.

"It's a great challenge" says Luis Salgado, "This show is an epic music journey from beginning to end and as part of the festival we are challenged to take away over an hour of the script and still allow the audience to experience the deep catharsis that these great writers are seeking. I am thrilled to be collaborating with such a smart group of creative minds who are very passionate about these piece"
